MIKE!! LOL..man, here we are..2years later, and I got my QuietusT in today. BUT...BUT..heres the kicker, I had to pay, (from BBTS), $319.00...so ,yeaaaah..I dont know what they are doing. DID they save this batch just for a price increase possibility in the future?!..Good Lawd..I dunno. Anyway, thought I would share that crud with ya! MERRY CHRISTMAS!!🎄🎁👈🏼💪🏼👍🏼
@@tydiriumhanger1320 did Cyclonus Armada actually shown on some media? Apart from the few movie frames, I mean. I seriously don't remember any Cyclonus Armada in the after movie cartoons, Us or Japanese that they were. I'm getting old 😂😂😂
I think the reason why FT doesn't release both versions at the same time is because they know collector's might double-dip (whereas if we saw both at first, we'd just choose the one we like). Kind of a sneaky practice, but they know we're gullible, lol.
I'm with you, I'd prefer the purple coloring with the white legs. If I had to choose one, it would be the original release because I really dislike the pink legs of the newer version.
Got my FT29T and was initially underwhelmed. However, after having him on the shelf for a week, I decided to switch back to the original to see the contrast, and now vanilla Quietus just doesn't look right any more. The pink on the arms, legs and face was frankly jarring at first, but after getting to used to it, it blends in so much better with the other colours. Plus the new purple paint they used is incredible; the luster on it is amazing. Also, they also seem to have adjusted the knees so they don't catch the chest anymore (though the transformation is still a pain). As of now, this is by far my favourite masterpiece Cyclonus.
I think it's a new Fans Toys theme now, come out with the almost accurate figure...then make the toon accurate one to make more money because they know that people want toon look to the figures. Next, reissue toon Galvatron, $180.00. They could've made the toon one from the start.
I originally got this guy just to flip. My curiosity got the better of me and I opened it up. Nice looking figure, but articulation leaves something to be desired. Another great video, thanks!
@@tydiriumhanger1320 I am happy that FT came out with this version because it did give people another chance to get it. It really is such an incredible transformers it would have been a shame to limit this piece. If anyone would be interested in trading me a blue one for a freshly sealed purple one let me know as I have 2
although i wish the new one was darker Purple, i like that there are two. i guess if you’re gonna bring it with 2 badass color schemes then Quietus is the perfect figure for it. now i need a metallic Sovereign.
Fans Toys has repainted numerous of their releases, including Quakewave, the Insecticons, and the Dinobots. I have the repaint for both Quakewave and Scoria. Thanks for the comparison.
Yes they did many repaints but it is becoming a hit and miss thing. No Mindwipe, Rouge, Hoodlum, Hydra repaints though? Because they did not sell out right away? Thanks
Dang! He does look awesome. I do like the purple version a bit better. I was going to get him of show store z eventhough I have the original version. But now after seeing how subtle the purple is..am not really sure. I ended up buy the X-transbots Eligos lol. Got him second hand. I like the Bulk and the additional height on that eligos. Great review
Just wanted to say! You should do a video on display piece aesthetics vs toys aesthetics. I like both! But I must admit I like messing around too much with the fanstoys..because of the fear I may break it. Also that Sovereign comment you made was very funny!😹
I find it sad that I am 15 but watched all the g1 transformers episodes. I wish I was around to buy the g1 toys. Cyclonus was also a dope person making a dope toy. Nice video
g1 is the reason that Transformers is so popular. The show was a bit over the top vs the toys and is still enjoyable today. Today is the best time to collect. Siege is good, MP is awesome and legends are cool in their own right. Thanks
Ah 'premium', one of the most overused words in FT fandom... I actually find it to be quite a pronounced colour difference, at least in hand. Admittedly it doesn't show up that well on camera. Cyclonus always had pinkish limbs/face in the movie, even in the still you showed. I'm looking at the BD release right now and it's clearly pink. I can see why people might prefer the white, but that's more accurate to the Akom animated episodes than the others. Eligos does have pink in its limbs BTW. Shine a light at the back and look again. Obviously nowhere near as pink as the initial test shots were, but they left the slightest hint in there. This is the deco I wanted from the start, so I've promoted this one and have the original release in IDA mode. I still have Eligos as well (not to mention the original 80s toy), so I have more than enough versions now.
I’ve missed out on both versions. I had a chance to get the toon version but in Australia where I’m at price varied from $260 to $330 depending on where it was bought. I couldn’t justify that kind of coin even tho I need him for my MP collection.
I am curious about where you think is the best place to buy that ships to Australia? Best priced distributor usually. I have lots of questions along that line. Thanks
Tydirium hanger it’s an interesting question. To be honest, I don’t buy a lot from overseas distributors, it’s usually within Australia. But depending on who they are using to import it, usually jacks the price up a fair bit. I’ve bought from Oh My Primus in Hong Kong (pretty sure that’s where they’re from). They’re good! The biggest thing is the rip off merchants from eBay. Cannot believe the prices people are asking for figures there!
@@sirbubbles5506 It is good that collectors get another shot at this figure. Just sucks that early adopters did not get the choice upfront. I did a whole vid about this: ruclips.net/video/G1trXv6afSw/видео.html
Most color blind people are male. The common string of color blind can tell the difference between blue and purple. This was just to sell extra figures from the original run. Expect a g2 MM after Spoiler.
I would like to see OP make more figures for a budget collector. They had a great Springer but many reviewers bashed him so I bought him because of that. Thanks
@@tydiriumhanger1320 I am PWT and I love lower priced figures. I like both the galvatron and springer open and play figures. I am almost 50 years old and I still collect toys, or as my 23 year old son calls it self porn. I love listening to TED talks about how 80s and 90s toys are in vogue because of the events of 9/11 and how we have been in perpetual war and the old toys bring a sense of normalcy and nostalgia. But I remember growing up in the 80s and the 50s and 60s became vogue for adults with television shows like The Wonder Years and movies like Back to the Future. And the only 90s toys I see still being in vogue are the Power Rangers, which I always thought were a combo voltron and ultraman rip off. If anything speaking of the 90s really I wish the powers that be would bring back EXO-Squad as it was ahead of it's time.
that’s funny man i kinda hated him until about 24 hours later. few days later & i like him as much as the blue version. i may keep both. got the Purple crew now: Sovereign- Purple Dracula- Hot Purple Quakeblast- Dark Purple Quietus Toon- Metallic Purple
The cool thing about the first release is the included armor for what is it comic idw version? I don't know the 2nd release has it. I would've upgraded had ft got it right this time but they didn't, again.
Yes the second release got the armor. I tried to show the comparison by putting the T armor on the 1st release and you almost can not tell the difference. Thanks
@@tydiriumhanger1320 do u think that pink tint is really just a glitch in the old 80s cartoon. Maybe the artist spilled some water on the canvas and the colors bled 🤔
@@tydiriumhanger1320 you said in the cartoon the pink tint was more prevalent in certain scenes. Was that tint less in the beginning and then got more pink as the cartoon progressed? Was there another episode where this tint didn't exist? Also, is it possible it was a light reflection from something generating that light onto Quietest in the toon? Can you send me the link of that episode?
@@tydiriumhanger1320 ok I now have the answer. Cyclonus is Skywarp and the absorbed power of bombshell. The pink tint is the same tint on Skywarp. It appears in the official cartoons but when they had an artist change later in the seasons that artist changed the color to white. Cyclonus = Skywarp and the absorbed power of Bombshell. ruclips.net/video/PSu1Z1zhpzw/видео.html
That really sucks on multiple levels. They are sold out and your supplier may have one they held back for issues like this but doubt it. On the bright side a collector may be born and hope he/she returns it! Thanks
Tydirium hanger Oh that’s cool. I’ve seen some of the display panels online I just haven’t seen some I’m really sold on. I want some that mimics the inside of the Autobot base. And I know I’ve seen the sets with Teletran-1 I just don’t remember who made them.
I completely bit that you thought the Big Cannon figure was Sovereign. Nice.

standing this next to galavatron just shows me we need a new scorge
Yes! I like the XTB Scourge but I feel he is too short! Thanks
No we don't.
FT scourge is rumoured
I'm waiting for this figure, I missed the original and now I'm just waiting for the courier, it should be coming soon, just today 😍
either one and you win. it's a great figure.
Finally managed to find one for a reasonable price. Should be arriving tomorrow.
Well their is two cyclonus's in the movie
Yes there are and there should be several to make up his Armada. Thanks

Yes that is a great point I forgot to talk about. The price spiked on this guy and the reissue make is more affordable to those who missed out! Thanks
Kup98ss purple version is better, u did good dude 👍

Yes the waist is an issue but I can make him hold some good poses. Thanks
I think they both look badass. If I had to pick I like the blue. I ordered 2 purple toon versions because I was so mad I missed it the 1st time.
